Re: The Nintendo WiiU Thread

Re: The Nintendo WiiU Thread

One other thing to note, if you get one: there is a huge firmware update required before you can use the system. It took about two hours total for me, so don't plan on being able to play it immediately out of the box. I still can't believe that Nintendo did that.

Re: The Nintendo WiiU Thread

Well, I got an Olevia brand back in April of 2006, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have HDMI. But I can probably get component cables, I just didn't want to have to get them. Hell, I don't even know if I'll be buying a WiiU anytime soon.

They were sold out at Wal-Mart last night when we looked for a kiosk to play it at, which they didn't have.

Re: The Nintendo WiiU Thread

Haha oops I answered a bunch of questions in the other thread. But yeah the first update took forever, wasn't too thrilled about that.

The gamepad itself plays really nicely. It's responsive, very clear graphics, easy to maneuver around. I love that I can control the tv with it, and I love that I can play games on it while watching the tv. Or watch tv while searching the internet. It's pretty smooth.

I've only bought Nintendoland (which came with my deluxe version...and btw, only buy this version, it's worth the extra 50) and NSMBU. Both games are quite fun.

I have plans to buy AC3 and Batman: Arkham City eventually. Kinda on a backlog of games at the moment.

Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

That's good to know. I'll have to unbox and update before Christmas morning.
